@RAZ0RFIST @jacelala Me when I lie blatantly

Because they consider the Bible, supported by thousands of manuscripts, to have "errors". While the Book of Mormon—supported by exactly one manuscript that can't even get King James English correct—is considered "inerrant".

Mormons never actually refute the trinity using the bible.

This dude just dove head first into defeat.

Theology discourse

@MatthewBellis82 I constantly ask myself "Is it I Lord?" Its such a humbling thought and helps me draw so much nearer to God as I seek to follow him.

Reflect often on “I never knew you” If it frightens you, I’ve got good news. If it fills you with indignation, I’ve got bad news.

@NotEvolution1 @AtheistTakes Even more actually! Read the Book of Mormon! 3 Nephi 11!

@AtheistTakes Christianity exists because of the resurrection witnessed by over 500 people

Jesus is just a copy

@YoSoyRobertMera @AtheistTakes Welp guys... Pack it up, its jover we all gotta become trans athiests and join polycules. 😔

@AtheistTakes Pack it up guys. A Reddit thread has debunked 2k years of Christian history.

@Bauer1488 @AtheistTakes Diabolical lore drop

@AtheistTakes Psalm 86:8 "There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours." Hitler painted this

Yeah, if a first century follower of Jesus time traveled to today, they would totally recognize the catholic church and say, "woah, this is just like the church Jesus established, and totally teaches the same things and has the same structure and everything.... mmm hmmm, totally!" Jesus didn't leave the Bible or the catholic church. He left prophets and apostles who received public revelation to guide his people, and they were killed.

@ci_le_moth Also Galatians 1:8 only works if we actually preach a contrary Gospel. So that REALLY shows me you've never read it.

Dude I never had any bad feelings towards Mormons til today holy shit dude just cause you can't understand Galatians 1:8-9 doesn't mean you gotta get up in arms when people make fun of you.

@ci_le_moth First reaction upon hearing someone may have been reading a book you disagree with(and have never read I am willing to bet) was to unfollow. Literally instinctual hatred of something.

@PhillyPhillyBTC @AmishMike01 @disclosetv Tbf tho, even if he did, would it even be answered by enough people to do anything? Its not a theocracy anymore in Rome either. It just doesn't seem like a real option. Just a fun thing to joke or larp about.

@AmishMike01 @disclosetv Yeah he doesn’t have the balls for it unfortunately

Mormons are Christians Catholics are Christians Protestants are Christians It’s not that hard

The Bible does not teach the Trinity. It shows a Godhead. At Christ’s baptism, Jesus stands in the water, the Father speaks from heaven, and the Holy Ghost descends as a dove. Three distinct beings. One unified will. Jesus prays to the Father. Submits to the Father. Acts in the Father’s name with divine authority. That only makes sense if they are not the same person.

2 Nephi 2:25 (Book of Mormon) “Adam fell that men might be⁠; and men are⁠, that they might have joy⁠.”

We found out during a late ultrasound that our son was going to be born without eyes. What I didn’t expect was for the doctor to ask if we wanted to abort him. We had just seen him in a 3D ultrasound moving around and otherwise healthy. Holding back tears, we both told him no, we are keeping him. He deserved to live even though he experiences life differently. Here he is as a baby and now at age 11.

@DavidScymon Ah yes, because this is "kind" Also, you are incredibly confident in your ignorance. The people of Nephi have NOTHING AT ALL IN THE SLIGHTEST to do with the Nephilim. Looks like you should read the Book of Mormon to fix that!

I'm kind. I'm not nice.

@RST_0fficial He did also study the characters on the plates themselves. He also used the Urim and Thummin attached to teh breastplate. They never learned a single thing and think the church is at fault for their laziness.

@TigerBalladeer And I sighted a plethora of scriptures + bore my personal testimony of how much it has changed my life for the better.

@NotAFeeish Denominational differences largely involve issues outside of the biblical text, that supposed historical record is a transparent fabrication, and your so-called prophets are false teachers. You're not going to change my mind on Mormonism, you shouldn't waste both of our times.

Here's how a conversation between a thoughtful Trinitarian and a thoughtful Latter-day Saint always goes: The Trinitarian brings up the Creeds. The Latter-day Saint says "I don't accept the Creeds as authoritative because they are unscriptural and unauthorized." The Trinitarian insists they are simply restatements of truths taught in scripture. This starts the back and forth from the Bible, mainly from the New Testament. The Trinitarian brings a verse saying, "I and my Father are one." The Latter-day Saint explains that "oneness" of the Godhead members doesn't necessarily imply a full Trinitarian consubstantiation. After all, Jesus also said husband and wife ought to be "one." And He prayed for His disciples to be one even as He and the Father are one. Surely that doesn't mean we all become consubstantial entities in the Trinity? Then the Trinitarian side talks about "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one." Then the Latter-day Saint responds with "Let us create man in our own image." Then the Trinitarian brings up "Philip, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father" and other verses. The Latter-day Saint then brings up verses about the express likeness: "this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ," the Gethsemane prayer—"not my will, but thine, be done," the baptism of Jesus, "why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God," "the Father is greater than I," and the idea that the Father knows the timing of the Second Coming but not the Son, etc. Then the Trinitarian responds with, "Well, He's carefully crafting His words for the people and it's the Person of the Son speaking, so in a sense it's true," and brings up "Before Abraham was, I AM," indicating Jesus is the Jehovah of the Old Testament. And the Latter-day Saint says, "Yes, we believe that, too. But that doesn't mean He is the same as the Father." Also, what of the first, second, and third-century disciples—some of whom walked with Jesus Himself—who didn't hold a Trinitarian formulation? Were they not Christian? And they go round and round, pulling up the Greek and the Aramaic, and both come away at the end more sure of their own positions than that the other's is the correct understanding. At the end of the day, an honest neutral observer of this discussion knows one thing: the Trinitarian theory is not self-evident from the Bible alone. As the Harper Bible Dictionary itself states, "the formal doctrine of the Trinity as it was defined by the great church councils of the fourth and fifth centuries is not to be found in the [New Testament]." There is ample room for an intelligent person to interpret the text either way, and neither is proven correct. The best a Trinitarian or Latter-day Saint can say about the Bible is "my position is evident to me." But through all this back and forth, the Latter-day Saint has been debating with one hand tied behind his back. Because although we love the Bible and accept it as the word of God, we are not reliant only on the Bible. We believe God has given additional clarification on the ambiguity of His inspired but imperfectly translated earlier words in the Holy Bible. God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. And just as they appeared to the martyr Stephen, they appeared as two distinct Personages, with Jesus standing on the right hand of God. Then in the Book of Mormon and subsequent revelations, Jesus explicitly and directly set forth His nature, removing all ambiguity. And these truths are confirmed to us by personal revelation from God Himself. This is not a contradiction of the Bible, just a contradiction of the Creedalist understanding of the Bible. We respect our Catholic and Protestant brothers and sisters who read the Bible through a different lens and understand the verses differently than us. Even though their understanding is opposed to what we believe is substantiated in Holy Scripture, we recognize their efforts to follow the Savior to the best of their ability and wouldn't dare call them un-Christian for what we see as a mistaken view. And we respectfully ask others recognize the Bible is not self-evident on these matters and grant us the same grace we extend to them.

@TigerBalladeer Why not investigate the BoM? And actually understand it? You are so opposed to something you genuinely have no actual idea about.
